Lavrentia Chukotka Russia

A visit to Lavrentia village with its fascinating museum where we learnt more about the history and culture of the local people and their forebears. Our guide spoke about indigenous people, marine mammal hunters, reindeer herders, the history of the village and of course about wildlife. A few minutes walk down the street we had the opportunity to try local food such as whale meat, tea, jam made with local berries, fish, bread and other excellent products. The morning ended with traditional dances and songs performed by locals.
